Chapter 1398: Chapter 1398: Is This What It Feels Like to Be in Love?
Grandpa clearly knows all of this, but he refuses to let Xu Ke in. Is he worried about something else?
Xiao Keyi felt an overwhelming sense of pain at this thought.
Xu Ke could naturally see the worry of the little woman beside him, but he felt that everything should be handled by himself. This little woman shouldn’t bear such concerns, and she deserves the happiest things in the world.
"Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side. Moreover, even if there are difficulties, aren’t we still here together? You’re not alone, so why bear it all alone? Remember, I’m your support."
Once again, these words echoed in Xiao Keyi’s ears, bringing immense satisfaction. This was all so real.
Finally, she could put everything aside and be with Xu Ke without any burdens. She thought she had found the happiest thing in the world, but this happiness wasn’t recognized by the one she loved the most.
"Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will never betray you. As for Grandpa, I’ll ask him again. Grandpa hasn’t been fond of Su Zining lately. I always felt something’s off, as Su Zining keeps coming to our house. When I tell you these things, my hope is..."
Xiao Keyi spoke in a rush, afraid that if Xu Ke found out later, it would deepen the misunderstanding between them. So, it was better to clarify things now.
At this moment, Xu Ke already knew about the situation and believed that the woman he fell for would never be interested in Su Zining.
"Don’t worry. Why are you in such a hurry? I will definitely trust you. Besides, I believe Grandpa will give me an answer too."
Seeing Xu Ke’s calmness, even Xiao Keyi was curious. Grandpa used to praise Xu Ke all the time, but now, there was no reaction at all.
She couldn’t figure out what Grandpa was thinking, but Xu Ke seemed to understand him perfectly.
Grandpa’s mind was becoming harder to understand, and she hadn’t been home for days, not having seen him for a while. Maybe Grandpa was still angry at home, but truly compromising would be the biggest regret of her life.
Xiao Keyi was incredibly confused at the moment, and Xu Ke didn’t explain to her. After all, she wasn’t there for the final scene that day, so she didn’t know that the elder already had doubts but hadn’t found the most compelling evidence.
This evidence was something Xu Ke needed to find quickly, and once it was found, he believed they would be together sooner or later.
"Now, you just need to enjoy steady happiness. I’ll take care of everything else for you. You don’t need to worry. Although you haven’t been home for days, your grandfather is surely worried. Your father may be unreliable, but he’s treating you well now. You’re his only daughter, so you can’t make him worry. It’s best to go home early."
Even though Xiao Zhen was always backing Su Zining, Su Zining was a hopeless case who cared nothing for his career and just wanted to climb into wealth.
But is climbing into wealth that easy? If it were, would Su Zining even have a chance?
No matter how much effort Su Zining made, at least the old man had his own answers and would never accept Su Zining so soon. Therefore, everything Su Zining did was in vain.
Xiao Keyi was particularly moved at this moment. Her father always excluded Xu Ke and spoke terribly of him, yet the man beside her never took it to heart.
He constantly guided and consoled her.
Why was her father always excluding Xu Ke? If Dad knew Xu Ke had such a broad heart, maybe he wouldn’t exclude him like this. But Dad would never do so; why is it impossible for him to accept others?
"Thank you for understanding me and my family. Meeting you in this lifetime is truly my happiness. But I really don’t want you to work hard alone. Yet, whenever I try, it feels like everything returns to the start. I’m grateful for your efforts, and I will repay you."
After speaking, Xiao Keyi suddenly hugged Xu Ke’s shoulders swiftly.
Xu Ke was startled, feeling a kiss land on his cheek. The softness of her lips seemed to touch his heart.
The sweetness of this moment spread inside him endlessly, extending to his limbs and bone, bringing ultimate comfort, filling his heart with warmth. Maybe this is the feeling of first love.
"Alright, let me show you around our University City. Experience how we live as students. During my time at university, I was bored to death. If you were there with me, maybe it wouldn’t have been so boring. It’s a shame you came too late."
Xiao Keyi’s face turned crimson, feeling like her actions came straight from the heart without considering the consequences, but now faced with the after-effects, she felt incredibly shy. She was still a girl, how could she be so forward?
Xu Ke noticed the little girl beside him was already blushing. He hadn’t expected her to be this forward, but since she liked him so much, he would certainly strive hard not to disappoint her.
Xiao Keyi deliberately changed the topic, afraid that Xu Ke would dwell on what just happened. In truth, she was incredibly shy, with her heart racing—was this the feeling of liking someone?
"Actually, I’ve heard before that your university is the most remarkable here. Now it seems true. At least the architecture here is so classical, far better than other universities."
Xu Ke sincerely praised that Changnan University is the best here, not to mention Changnan Film University, which is famous nationwide.
Changnan Film University has produced many stars and has a century-old history, with teachers hailing from all over the country. Many students are envious of those who get to study here.
"Actually, I was quite proud at that time to study at this school. But now, everything has returned to the starting point. Back then, I dreaded returning to the business world, but while working, I met you. Maybe fate had a hand in this."
Xiao Keyi was particularly grateful to her past self for being obedient enough.
